Kurtz Orchards

Kurtz Orchards and Country Market in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario

Upon entering Kurtz Orchards and Country Market, one is greeted by numerous things to taste before purchasing. This is a must-stop location for gifts for others, and treats for you!

Throughout the country market, you will find baskets of crackers together with home-made jams, preserves, honey and maple syrup, various spreads, samples of nuts, candies and more. It will not be long before you fill your basket with jars of preserves home-made from the country kitchen made with only the freshest and sweetest tender fruits from family grown trees, or several unique and authentic Canadian crafts.

This 80 acre orchard was established by the Kurtz family in 1941, and the fourth generation of the family works there to this day. The soil is part of a special micro climate in Niagara-on-the-Lake that produces sweet and tender fruit rivalling the best peaches from Georgia and Florida. Grown to taste, the fruit is tree-ripened and full of flavour. Additionally, October is the ideal month for grapes and pumpkins.

Plan on enjoying a meal at Kurtz Orchards, to take advantage of their fresh salads and hearty soups and breads. The meal will surely be finished with homemade pie, cobbler or cookies. Open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
